So the guy goes and races a 992 Cup car around Indy road course in 2022🤣
Never liked this tool… ^^^ – just something about him that is off… weasel comes to mind.
I am a semi driver. I know what it's like to spend hours in a seat, and I can understand his pain. Most people don't realize that every time you hit a bump, it pile drives your spine. That's not factoring in the accidents he has had that most people don't experience.
Say what you like about Jeff, I think he's a legend.
I could never get into nascar. The cars seem so limited and slow. It's so boring when compared to F1, or WRX.
What a great winner Jeff is! Miss him.
Your kidding? Really???? Back pain?? I've been through 7 major surgeries and 4 fusions for back pain,, and he couldn't make it through a few races with all the resources he has to deal with it??? Poofter. I am so over these puffers
Joe Buck is just too arrogant to be a good interviewer. He comes across as aloof.
Jumps out car arm flailing, oh right my back……lol
Nascar lost it's way and became the suckfest it is now way before Gordon retired. I haven't watched a race since 2005. Whatever they do on the track these days is not "racing."
Yeah sad to say these ass clown kids with zero talent out there riding around in a cup car when they probably should be racing local short track chargers / maybe late models. They’re just not what I would call professionals and it clearly shows with all the unnecessary wrecks and rookie mistakes. I watched about 20 minutes of the Phoenix race and shut it off. Nothing to see there.
That Vegas wreck where his car just happened to find that place where there was a hole in the wall and he T-boned that wall was the beginning of the end. Imagine going 500 miles and those seats are not for comfort those cars aren't for comfort. Imagine if from 2007 till 20?? if he wasn't hurting how many more wins and years he had left in him..I am glad he never cameback full-time after 4 or 5 years a way and be remembered for that. No driver that great who retires and returns could ever live up to his status. I would have loved to see him race in the Tony Stewart/Ray Evernham series. Which Tony can continue to Lie about it wasn't making money it was on Network TV. Short track Saturday night. He put that series to the side to drive his wifes Top Fuel Dragster!
Same reason i retired from Dodgeball lol
I quit watching NASCAR shortly after Dale died. Just didn't care anymore. And from what I have seen since, I didn't miss anything except commercials.
I've personally met Jeff Gordon and had drinks with him, and didn't appreciate him until then. I even told him that and we chuckled about how many times he's heard that…. great guy, and have good memories with him
this is an old interview. i rem this came out a yr later after he retired.
When Jeff retired, I began losing interest in Nascar! The big personalities are missed – Remember the WINSTON CUP! Appreciate all you have done for Nascar Jeff and enjoyed watching your career!
Good to see him healthy. Especially those bad crashes in late of his career. Kept finding himself crash in bad spot in the track that nascar had to add safer barriers like in Las Vegas and Atlanta.
Just like an NFL player, most careers are relatively short because the body can only endure for a short time. Players like Barry Sanders are smart as they choose to retire earlier and can still get out of bed in the morning.
Jeff Gordon is a true gentleman. Several years ago my girlfriend (I am a widower and this all occurred before we started seeing each other) had recently tragically lost her husband of many many years. She had a friend who had worked in public relations for NASCAR and knew all the drivers. There was a race up at the Michigan Speedway and this friend invited Jana to go up and hang out the night before race for a bit. Jana was around 60, her friend was in her early 30’s. She was reluctant to go but decided to get out of the house and go. Once there, her friend found Jeff and explained the tragic loss Jana had suffered. Jana did not know any of this was going on. When Jeff met Jana he spent several hours taking Jana around on his golf cart introducing her to other drivers and making sure she had a great time. He was an absolute gentleman and fantastic human being. He did not have to this, he was not looking for any recognition, he was doing it because he wanted to help a grieving widow through a difficult time. He is a fantastic person and I wish him all the happiness in the world, thank you Jeff.
You could close your eyes and hear Gordon's car above all others! It sounded like a Lion!
It was fun hearing all the southern good 'ole boys rooting against Gordon! Hooting and hollerin throwing cowboy hats! Good times!
Jeff was an amazing driver and by far my favorite all time. Nascar lost its appeal after Dale passed. And I dont think Ive watched a hand full of races since Jeff retired as I just cant stand watching the product that they put out these days. I wish we could go back to the old days when our heros were on the track.
Smooth
Does it
Response respect
One❤😂🎉
He the man❤😂🎉titis babe
So no burning Tyres ❤😂🎉❤😂I was there when one❤😂🎉❤
You are not young forever
So is this what Ben Shapiro is going to look like in another 15 or 20 years or whatever? Because these guys look like their brothers holy crap! I'm also using talk to text so I understand that I used the wrong "they're"
Best ever. Seven true championships under the true measure!! 93 Wins!! No owns or ever put these type of numbers together. Pinnacle driver and classy guy
Nascar isn't the same without guys like Jeff,Dale Jr, JJ, and all the guys from the 2000's does anyone even watch Nascar anymore?
Racing is a young mans sport. It seems like every pro driver that I talk to, there is another story of a broken back and multiple surgeries. Brutal stuff.
Smartest thing to do
#3 fan here but I came to like Gordon
Has anyone else ever looked at Jeff Gordon and thought that he looks like a cross between Tobey McGuire and Michael J. Fox?
sry Johnson, Jeff is the goat
Jeff was my favorite racer, besides being one of the best ever, he had the class and respect of Mark Martin, etc., plus his last name and my last name our clans were allies in old Scotland, but I was not happy when he quit before he had a 100 wins. But you do what you have to do. But his legacy will continue on as he recognizes other great talent and brings them up.
for me Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt are the greatest rivals I have ever seen in NASCAR ever
Met Jeff when I was thirteen, and we had Sport Allen at thirteen they were running at the Bay. Both were equally good for kids. But Jeff took them hard hits in that cup car. And a dirt car doesn't help your back any.
Why is Joe Buck interviewing Jeff Gordon and not Randy Moss
Ooo much sympathy it's no joke dealing with constant back pain,,,, but you had a good run and still have a lot to offer in other ways Jeff
I was at Charlotte and witnessed his 1st win ever. I had no idea till later on how lucky I was to be there and witness that. He had a great career.
I have been an F1 guy my whole life, I watched little bit of Nascar and Indycar, but Nascar drew me in because of Jeff Gordon.
I thought that maybe as he got older he'd be honest with himself and come out of the closet He missed his wndow now, he'll never do it
I Boo'ed this man unmercifully for years, he was so damn good that he stunk up the show. I realize now that I was sitting on the front row witnessing greatness. Jeff Gordon was a generational talent and a great ambassador for the sport. I didn't appreciate it at the time but I sure do now.
Martinsville, going around a circle @ 75 mph, boring
Kyle Busch recently implied in an interview the sport sucks now because of the iconic drivers who have retired….been replaced by a bunch of whiney kids/no name/uninteresting drivers.
Drivers like Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt really made NASCAR races amazing.
All of those hard hits Jeff took during the early days of the gen 5 (particularly Vegas 2008) caught up with him
Edgey personalities needed . Expect extreme screening.
Lifelong Jeff Gordon fan the day he retired was the day I stopped watching nascar #24
